Hello world!
Raider Ryan’s Weblog (raiderryan.wordpress.com) will initially be about sports, and primarily football. After all, I started this blog in anticipation of the upcoming football season.
However, current events in sports will help to determine which way the blog turns. It is interesting how an event like the Michael Vick dogfighting scandal has grabbed the nation’s attention, for example. Had I been blogging at that time I certainly would have commented on the case.
My favorite team is the Oakland Raiders and they lost 14 games last year, winning only 2. The current #1 draft pick of the Oakland Raiders is Jamarcus Russell, a QB from LSU. The Raiders have not been able to sign him as of yet, Jamarcus has missed 14 practices and there is no end in site to the holdout. How do you think I feel going into the season if this is an indicator of things to come?
I’m sure some of you don’t know a whole lot about American football. For those of you who want to know more, ask me a question and I will do my best to satisfy your request.
We are just getting started now, but the future awaits.
